The Loft: Butches and Femmes in their 40s, 50s and over.

[LadyRieinAL]

I've had four relationships - one was with my daughter's dad - met him when I was 15 and he was 21, we married when I turned 18 and we were together six years, my second partner was with a handsome butch and we were together for 22 years, third was a person who identified as trans and perferred female pronouns - would not transition because of the fear of being gay five years -they passed away and
my last partner had just started his physical transition when we first met.
I said to him, I'm not sure I can do this, but I care enough about you to try, and we were together almost 9 years.
Now, I'm single - and have been for a while - and I'm wanting to date
So, how DO you date? I mean JUST date? How do you date more than one person?
I've meet some amazing people on Butch femme Planet -I imagine going and meeting them, enjoying their company, finding out all about them -
and I know right now, for the first time in my life, I'm not ready for a steady relationship.
What does "just dating" looks like - I'd really like to know - at what point does it go from just hanging out to dating? And can you date more than one person at a time - and do butches or femmes have a harder time with this concept? or does it just depend on the person -
